RICHMOND, VA. — Slightly more than half the Virginia voters polled in a recent survey do not think Gov. Douglas Wilder should be running for president. Fifty-four percent of 803 registered voters surveyed by telephone over the weekend said Wilder should not run. The poll by Mason-Dixon Opinion Research Inc. had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Wilder, the nation's first elected black governor, announced his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination Friday.
